CORTICAL ISCHÆMIA OF THE KIDNEY WITH MAINTAINED BLOOD FLOW THROUGH THE MEDULLA
1 The Department of Pathology, Radcliffe Infirmary, the Nuffield Department of Surgery, and the Nuffield Institute for Medical Research, University of Oxford
1. Further studies of the renal circulation have been carried out by means of rapid serial angiography. The kidney was exteriorized so that the intrarenal circulation could be demonstrated in greater detail.
2. The investigation has shown that an ischæmia of the cortex of the kidney with a maintained circulation through the medulla may occur in the cat, dog, sheep and monkey, as well as in the rabbit.
3. The view is stressed that in normal animals blood passing through either the cortex or the medulla all passes through glomeruli.
4. The condition of cortical necrosis of the kidney is adduced as evidence that cortical ischæmia with maintained medullary blood flow occurs in man.
Note:
We have appreciated the interest taken by Dr. G. M. Ardran in this work, and are grateful to Mr. M. S. Tuckey for technical assistance with the angiography.
